The Conclusion of "Too Close"

The Conclusion of "Too Close"

What a fun concluding chapter of the campaign!

The team found out that the temple contained a Jedi Holocron and that both the Empire and the criminal organization of The Black Sun were actively searching for it.

When things looked like they were not going to work out, a Jedi working for the Black Sun, aided the team, which allowed them to retrieve the Holocron and make their escape.

Meanwhile Dax and Jarvis were back at the city of Ferra and up to no good. With the help of Dacken Fel (a Rebel sympathizer) they were able to access the Imperial network and shut down all communications.

As the duo of Dax and Jarvis (and Dax's beloved 3PO unit) were preparing to leave they were attacked by the bounty hunter Teilo Zef, who had once mentored Anjax. Barely escaping Teilo, the two saboteur's raced to rescue their comrades at the temple.

Once the team was reunited, they made the jump to hyperspace, proud owners of the Jedi Holocron. The only problem is they do not know how to use it.

The Too Close Campaign




We are currently in the midst of playing the campaign called "Too Close". The story feels a bit more personal simply because some of the PC's past is coming back into the picture.


The opening crawl for Too Close:



The game started in a exciting fashion. The Defiant (a YT-2000 Light Freighter),  piloted by Anjax and aided by 2 X-Wings, fought its way through several tie fighters to reach the crash site. The problem was that the Empire was already there and they were attempting to kill the Colonel and capture the data on his ship.

After a firefight with some of the best Imperial Troopers, the Rebels were able to win the day and escape with the injured Colonel. Unfortunately, the Colonel died from his injuries in route to The Seeker, but before he died he whispered, “Ishtari-Molan” into the ear of one of the Rebel agents. The meaning of the phrase/name is unknown to the Rebellion and the PCs.

After decryption of the Colonel's personal datapad the Rebellion has discovered that the Empire has taken a interest in the planet Masi in the Morthra System. The Empire is either developing something or looking for something. The PC's job is to go find out what.

After arriving on the planet the PCs make it to the city of Ferra. There they discover that their contact, Dacken Fel is missing and no one has seen him. After investigating several locations the PCs have discovered that Dacken is in prison and was caught by none other than the bounty hunter Teilo Zef, Anjax's mentor.

The PCs discover that the Empire is in the jungles outside of Ferra and that On'Tala, a Twi'Lek scientist working on the fringes of the jungle, might have the answers.

In a series of events the PCs have discovered that there is a ancient temple deep in the jungle and that the Empire has sent some of their top agents there. Not only that, but the powerful criminal organization, The Black Sun, is also vying for possession of what lies deep inside the temple.


As the last session ended the PCs have split up. Jarvis and Dax are in the city of Ferra trying to gain access to the Imperial communications network, while the rest of the team has entered the temple and have begun their journey into the dark.

The next session will begin this week. People are not what they seem, loyalties are uncertain, and all the PCs have is each other. What awaits them in the dark?
